Mad that it took CP3 getting injured to see how great of a player Blake is, but regardless, it's dope to see people finally coming to the light :lol :hat his most impressive assets in his game to me are his ball handling and his motor. Every play, every night dude is hauling ***, going OD hard. Like I've consistently said on here, if he's healthy, and CP3 is healthy, then the Clips will be a very tough out in the west.

I've said this before too. No one can convince me Roy Hibbert is an all star. My goodness. He's a defensive anchor but literally doesn't rebound, shoots horribly from the field, and barely gives you anything from an offensive standpoint. Him last night :x
 
 
"Thon Maker" is such a dominating name.  Sounds like some type of super-villain.  
These names

Seventh Woods is a cool name too
 
Somebody opened a pipeline to Haiti here in Dallas. Two seven foot "15 year olds" popped up in the same AAU program that developed Julius randle

I'm looking forward to seeing more African guys as well hopefully as the game continues to expand.

Personally I love the international aspect of the NBA, I know some don't.

Chris Paul might be back tomorrow

Clippers 12-6 without him, pretty good
"I fully know that he wants to play, let's put it that way," Rivers said Saturday. "I just don't know if we're going to allow him to play yet. I just want to see how he feels, how his body feels. I want to see him on the floor. I just want to make sure Chris is not pushing to play. Players do that."

Paul has been shooting and participating in contact drills for the past week and went through practice with the team on Saturday, which was the Clippers' first practice in more than two weeks. Paul has missed the past 18 games and the Clippers are 12-6 during that stretch.

"I think it's going to take Chris some time to get his rhythm back," Rivers said. "That's why I am hoping he is healthy and we can play him Sunday, have a practice on Tuesday and play him Wednesday. I think that helps. I think it's going to take a couple weeks for him to get his rhythm back, no doubt."

Paul had previously said he also plans on playing in next week's NBA All-Star Game and Rivers said he was fine with that given the lack of defense and physical play in the exhibition game.

"I like him playing in the All-Star Game, personally," Rivers said. "I think this is a rare case where he's ready to play and the All-Star Game is probably the safest venue for him to play. I think it will just be a good thing for him to get up and down, whether he plays these next two games or just one of the games. It allows him to go up and down in NBA game with really good players that don't play defense in the game, so I think that would be very good."

Seventh Woods is another baller that is just filthy.

I'm not big on recruiting but I have no clue how he is ranked like 13th in his class..

that is amazing.

because he isn't that good at basketball, yet.

watched seventh at u16, meh, athlete not a basketball player, has a ways to go.

I watched Thon Maker, at the jordan international game I think, wasn't the best guy on the floor, wasn't top 3. lost the ball enough, you can see he's got Keivn Durant Disease, becuase those dribble moves resulted in turnovers vs real competition.


obviously its way too young to judge him, and he has incredible physical tools, but y'all need to chill. go look at Perry Jones hoopmixtape, it was just as crazy.

Don't be surprised if you seen a few Haitian prospects in the next few years.

8o why hatian?

:eek Thanks for the info

Yo that guy is a sophomore? Straight up fakeeeeee

Yeah and he has a little brother who's a 6'10" freshman. We're entering a new era of a different type of generational talent, provided these guys keep their head on straight.
 
Why is that??

Why do I like it? Because it means that this is a league that's truly the best of the best athletes around the world. And I like seeing immigrants come from different circumstances to be able to come here and succeed. I also just like seeing diversity of all kinds, it's cool.

Always this. I used to be fooled by all these highschool tapes back when i was a kid. Bu seeing so many of these dudes flameout, i'm good.

Still amazing to watch them tho.

Speaking of hs tapes, its still obvious that john walls is still #1 right?
 
I mean yeah, there's no guarantee his development will even make him an NBA player. Still cool though
 
High school tapes can definitely be deceiving. John Wall and Derrick Rose though definitely delivered. The Perry Jones tapes though didn't impress me as much, I just searched for them

I'm just amazed at the skill set and the fluidity that he has to be a 7 foot sophomore. Most that i've come across almost always are clumsy, don't know how to run, and aren't even comfortable with their bodies yet. So from that standpoint, for me, it's incredible to see him do that.

That being said though, you can see in that video where the problems would lie. What you alluded to is exactly what should happen. He's big, but on the perimeter with the ball he doesn't have close to elite ball handling skills or speed to get by anyone so the handles are kind of a moot point at this time. He's just overall a slow finesse player. But that all could change. He's a sophomore, and has an amazing base to grow from.

Chill bro, he's the best center in the game.

John Wall still probably the goat mixtape.
